*golf clap* Bravo Moffat. And here I was about to agree you were better than RTD. You've just given the Doctor a literal equivalent to the Spiderman 3 black-suit Peter Parker dance. Way to paste your character as an emo git for the rest of the season. XP

Have you seen Torchwood: Miracle Day? Yeah, Moffat is the better writer. Though I dunno what you are talking about, I can't remember him being particularly emo recently.

The thing that got to me the most actually was that he bought them a house and a car. He pretty much dropped Rose in another dimension and said "cheerio", I can't remember what happens to Martha, she was to dull to require the brain room, and Donna got her memory completely wiped with no compensation from him. It was too much, travelling the galaxy and all of time was the reward for being a companion, it doesn't require a pension fund.

The episode was also just not the right one to do it with. Last episode would have made much more sense. I mean, Rory had to basically kill his own wife. That is the sort of thing that will make people decide that enough is enough, but the hotel episode, while good, wasn't the kind of thing to illicit that reaction. So i'm with you on it, but not to your extent. :P

I might give it a look when/if it comes to Netflix but I have to admit Moffat finally made me jump ship by episode 2 this Series.

Code:

I pretty much smelled the rat from Episode 1. The whole 'lets bring Amy and Rory back, never youmind that their story was pretty nicely cut off at the end of Series 6, JUST so we can make the Doctorhave yet ANOTHER tragic companion loss instead of just letting them stay home and happy.

It was filler, it was pointless, and it was painfully telegraphed. I pretty much wiki followed Series 7 afterEpisode 2 and was quite sad to see it turn out as I had expected.

But in fairness to Moffat (hence why I'm willing to give another chance) it felt really either like the Rory/Amy'second conclusion plot' was executive meddling or contractual obligation. Either way it put a serious dentin the show's credibility to me. About the second serious dent since Love & Monsters actually got greenlit. XP
